L9Arts Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Hey there, I am trying to get an effect of an art directed shockwave done. In my particular case I am trying to shape the shockwave in the shape of a heart going outwards. I literally have no Idea how to get this effect going. I was thinking about feeding my animated shape into a pop network where I create the particles aswell as the necessary attributes for the pyro solver. Has anybody here an idea how to archieve this kind of effect. In my thinking there needs to be a way to get this to work with any kind of shape. I am thankful for any advice helping me out!!! (I am relatively new to Houdini, started last year and focused more on some vellum sims. Now I want to expand my skillset with some personal projects adressing different parts of the software) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryew Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Check out youtube - there are multiple shockwave tutorials on there you can likely modify for your needs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atom Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 You could draw on some density and use a velocity pump to force it to the floor. Surround it with a heart shaped collision object to maintain the shape as it expands. ap_billowy_smoke_shockwave_heart_021122.hiplc 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
